Jarett S. Levan, Acting Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of BBX Capital, commented, "Since the sale of BankAtlantic in July 2012, BBX Capital has been repositioning its business, monetizing its legacy portfolios of loans and real estate, and pursuing its goal of transitioning into a growth business by focusing on real estate opportunities and acquiring operating businesses. The majority of BBX Capital's assets do not generate income on a regular or predictable basis. Recognizing the nature of BBX Capital's assets, BBX Capital's goal is to build long-term value as opposed to focusing on quarterly or annual earnings. While capital markets generally encourage short term results, BBX Capital's objective continues to be long term growth as measured by increases in book value per share over time.

"As previously announced in July 2016, BBX Capital and BFC Financial Corporation ("BFC Financial" or "BFC") (OTCQB: BFCF) (OTCQB: BFCFB) entered into a definitive merger agreement between the companies. BFC has held a meaningful stake in BBX since 1987, and if the proposed merger is consummated, BBX Capital will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of BFC. The proposed merger of BFC and BBX Capital is intended to simplify our corporate structure and intended to consolidate and streamline the combined companies," Levan concluded.

Under the terms of the merger agreement, which was unanimously approved by a special committee comprised of BBX Capital's independent directors as well as the boards of directors of both companies, BBX Capital's shareholders other than BFC will be entitled to receive, at their election, 5.4 shares of BFC's Class A Common Stock or $20.00 in cash for each share of BBX Capital's Class A Common Stock held by them. BBX Capital's shareholders will have the right to elect to make different elections with respect to different shares so they may elect to receive all cash, all stock, or a combination of cash and stock in exchange for their shares. BFC currently owns approximately 82% of BBX Capital's Class A Common Stock and 100% of its Class B Common Stock.

Real Estate

Real Estate consists of our legacy portfolio of loans and foreclosed real estate which were previously associated with our former wholly-owned subsidiary, BankAtlantic, and our real estate joint ventures. Since the sale of BankAtlantic we have liquidated some of our legacy real estate and loans while holding and managing others for capital appreciation and development. Highlights during the third quarter of 2016 include:

Equity in earnings of unconsolidated real estate joint ventures were $4.5 million primarily reflecting closings on single-family units by the Hialeah Communities joint venture and the Village at Victoria Park joint venture

Recoveries from loans previously charged off of $10.9 million

Gains on real estate sales of $5.0 million

Middle Markets

We are actively engaged in investments in and management of operating companies. Our primary investments as of September 30, 2016 were our investments in Renin Holdings, LLC ("Renin") and BBX Sweet Holdings.

Renin, a manufacturer and distributor of door systems and hardware for the retail, commercial, OEM door manufacturer, and door fabricator channels, had sales of $15.6 million during the three months ended September 30, 2016 compared to sales of $14.5 million during the comparable 2015 period. Renin generated a net loss of ($359,000) during the three months ended September 30, 2016 compared to a net loss of ($365,000) during the comparable 2015 period. The increase in Renin's sales during the 2016 period reflects increased sales of its barn door products.

BBX Sweet Holdings reported sales of $6.5 million during the three months ended September 30, 2016 compared to sales of $7.1 million during the comparable 2015 period. BBX Sweet Holdings' reported a net loss of ($2.8) million during the three months ended September 30, 2016 compared to a net loss of ($2.7) million during the comparable 2015 period. BBX Sweet Holdings continued to incur costs to integrate companies, which it had acquired during 2014 and 2015, and higher compensation expense related to the hiring of senior management. Also contributing to the net losses were the costs associated with five Hoffman's retail stores opened during 2015 and 2016. It is anticipated that BBX Sweet Holdings will continue to experience losses as it incurs expenses associated with these activities and the continued expansion of its business.

Bluegreen is a sales, marketing, and management company focused on the vacation ownership industry. Bluegreen markets, sells and manages vacation ownership interests ("VOIs") in resorts, which are generally located in popular, high-volume, "drive-to" vacation destinations. The resorts in which Bluegreen markets, sells or manages VOIs were either developed or acquired by Bluegreen, or were developed and are owned by third parties. Bluegreen earns fees for providing sales and marketing services to these third party developers. Bluegreen also earns fees by providing management services to the Bluegreen Vacation Club and property owners associations ("POAs"), mortgage servicing, VOI title services, reservation services, and construction design and development services. In addition, Bluegreen provides financing to purchasers of VOIs.

During the three month period ended September 30, 2016, Bluegreen paid cash dividends of $20.0 million to Woodbridge, Bluegreen's parent company, and Woodbridge in turn paid $8.8 million of cash dividends to BBX Capital and $10.3 million of cash dividends to BFC. During the nine month period ended September 30, 2016, Bluegreen paid cash dividends of $45.0 million to Woodbridge, and Woodbridge in turn paid $19.5 million of cash dividends to BBX Capital and $22.9 million of cash dividends to BFC.

System-wide sales of VOIs, net of equity trade allowances (2), were $172.7 million vs. $162.0 million. Included in system-wide sales are sales of VOIs made under Bluegreen's "capital-light" business strategy(1), which were $144.6 million vs. $115.6 million, gross of equity trade allowances(2):

Sale of third party VOIs - commission basis were $88.1 million vs. $70.4 million and generated sales and marketing commissions of $59.4 million vs. $51.0 million

Secondary market sales of VOIs were $45.4 million vs. $42.0 million

Just-in-time sales of VOIs were $11.1 million vs. $3.1 million

Average sales price per transaction was $13,679 vs. $13,267

Sales volume per guest was $2,196 vs. $2,386

Tours increased 15%

Other fee-based services revenue was $26.8 million vs. $24.8 million

Net income attributable to Bluegreen was $22.6 million vs. $23.3 million

EBITDA was $43.2 million vs. $45.6 million (3)

"Free cash flow" (cash flow from operating activities less capital expenditures) was $18.6 million compared to $32.7 million during the same period in 2015

(1)

Bluegreen's sales of VOIs under its "capital-light" business strategy include sales of VOIs under fee-based sales and marketing arrangements, just-in-time inventory acquisition arrangements, and secondary market arrangements. Under "just-in-time" arrangements, Bluegreen enters into agreements with third party developers that allow Bluegreen to buy VOI inventory from time to time in close proximity to the timing of when Bluegreen intends to sell such VOIs. Bluegreen also acquires VOI inventory from resorts' POA and other third parties close to the time Bluegreen intends to sell such VOIs. Such VOIs are typically obtained by the POAs through foreclosure in connection with maintenance fee defaults, and are generally acquired by Bluegreen at a significant discount. Bluegreen refers to sales of inventory acquired through these arrangements as "Secondary Market Sales."

(2)

Equity trade allowances are amounts granted to customers upon trading in their existing VOIs in connection with the purchase of additional VOIs.

EBITDA is defined as earnings, or net income, before taking into account interest income (excluding interest earned on VOI notes receivable), interest expense (excluding interest expense incurred on financings related to Bluegreen's receivable-backed notes payable), provision for income taxes and franchise taxes, depreciation and amortization. For purposes of the EBITDA calculation, no adjustments were made for interest income earned on Bluegreen's VOI notes receivable or the interest expense incurred on debt that is secured by such notes receivable because they are both considered to be part of the operations of Bluegreen's business.

The Company considers Bluegreen's EBITDA to be an indicator of Bluegreen's operating performance, and it is used to measure Bluegreen's ability to service debt, fund capital expenditures and expand its business. EBITDA is also used by companies, lenders, investors and others because it excludes certain items that can vary widely across different industries or among companies within the same industry. For example, interest expense can be dependent on a company's capital structure, debt levels and credit ratings. Accordingly, the impact of interest expense on earnings can vary significantly among companies. The tax positions of companies can also vary because of their differing abilities to take advantage of tax benefits and because of the tax policies of the jurisdictions in which they operate. As a result, effective tax rates and provision for income taxes can vary considerably among companies. EBITDA also excludes depreciation and amortization because companies utilize productive assets of different ages and use different methods of both acquiring and depreciating productive assets. These differences can result in considerable variability in the relative costs of productive assets and the depreciation and amortization expense among companies.
